A recurrent shoulder joint dislocation was performed on fourteen cases who were treated by modified Bristow operation from June, 1978 to April, 1981. and following results were obtained. 1. The age of initial dislocation varied from 13 years to 23 years of age with the average of 18. 6 years. 2. The age at operation varied from 20 years to 28 years of age with the average of 23 years. 3. The duration of recurrent dislocaticn varied from 2 years to 8 years with the average of 4.4 years. 4. The times of dislocation varied from 6 to 50 times with the average of 17.1 times. 5. The roentgenograms showed the Hill-Sachs' Iesion in 10cases (71.4%), subluxation in 4 cases (28.6%), and glenoid rim abnormality in 2 cases. 6. The operative findings were Bankart's lesion in II cases(78.6%), glenoid rim erosion in 2 case, and subscapularis laxity in 2 case. 7. The complication and recurrence were not observed in this period. 8. The average limitation of abduction and external rotation were 5. 7 and 12. 2 degree respectively.

Dislocation of the shoulder after intramuscular injection antibiotic(s) is rare and this conditon was limit described in literature. Our purposes were: (1) determining the clinical symptoms, X-ray and CT findings; and (2) determining the indications and the surgical technique and evaluation of the surgical result. Material and methods: 62 children (29 females, 33 males) aged from 4 to 16 years were included. Clinical and X- ray findings were analysed for anterosuperior subluxation or dislocation of humeral head. The patients were operated to release of origin or insretion of the mild Deltoid muscle or Z plasty of this one. Surgical procedures provided good result in 75.3 percent, fair in 24.7 percent and there were no infection or neuromuscular complication in these cases. Conclusions: This condition always resulted from repeated Deltoid intramuscular injection. The surgical treatment with resection of fibrous portions constantly gives relief of symptoms and provides good function.

PURPOSE: Bilateral traumatic locked posterior dislocations of the shoulder are very rare and there has been no report on the operative treatment for this injury in the Korean medical literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present here a case of bilateral locked posterior dislocations of the shoulders after trauma and this was successfully treated with open reduction and lesser tuberosity transfer on the right shoulder and subscapularis tendon transfer on the left shoulder. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Twenty-four months later, the clinical and radiologic results were excellent.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to evaluate the presence and severity of Hill-Sachs (HS) lesions on MR arthrography (MRA) of shoulder in patients with Bankart lesions following anterior dislocation and to investigate their relationship with Bankart lesions and frequency of dislocations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 86 MRA of shoulder were evaluated in patients with arthroscopic Bankart repairs following anterior dislocations. The largest surface length of HS lesion on MRA and extent of Bankart lesions on arthroscopy were measured. Relationships between length of HS lesions and extent of Bankart lesions and frequency of dislocations were assessed. RESULTS: HS lesions were identified on MRA in 78 patients. The largest surface length of HS lesion ranged from 9.3 mm to 29.6 mm (mean, 18.8 mm). The extent of Bankart lesion ranged from one to six o'clock extent (mean, 4.25 o'clock extent). Three patients had single dislocation and the other 75 patients had recurrent dislocations (mean 24.5 times). The largest surface length of HS lesions was positively correlated with extent of Bankart lesions (p = 0.001, r = 0.37), but not with frequency of dislocation. CONCLUSION: HS lesion was very common in patients with Bankart lesion. The severity of HS lesions was correlated with extent of Bankart lesions.

Bilateral shoulder dislocations are rare and almost always occur in the posterior direction. Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is even rarer and only a few cases are stated in the literature. The most interesting part of a bilateral shoulder dislocation is about its injury mechanism as a synchronous and simultaneous force is needed to result in it. In cases of epilepsy or electrocution, the mechanism is different and the forceful contractions of the selective group of muscles result in the dislocation. This article reports two cases of bilateral simultaneous anterior shoulder joint dislocation that occurred after a road side accident and after an episode of convulsion in an epileptic patient. The dislocations were diagnosed early and reduced immediately with a proper postreduction rehabilitation. During their follow-up, both patients had sa-tisfactory functional outcome. This article emphasizes on the importance of shoulder examination in road side accident victims and epileptic patients. All orthopedic surgeons and emergency physicians should be aware of such unusual possibilities to have an early diagnosis and treatment. An early reduction and appropriate rehabilitation can provide satisfactory functional outcome. This article also briefly discusses the injury mechanisms, diagnoses and treatments of bilateral shoulder dislocation as reported in the literature.

BACKGROUND: The consensus is that a bony Bankart lesion shorter than 25% of the length of glenoid does not affect the clinical result; hence, such lesions were often neglected. However, small bony Bankart lesions are associated with various types of capsulolabral lesions. METHODS: A total of 82 patients who had undergone arthroscopic capsulolabral lesion repair surgery for anterior shoulder dislocation were reviewed. The prevalence rates of early and late type of capsulolabral lesions were compared between a group of patients with and a group without small bony Bankart lesions. In addition, the types of accompanying capsulolabral lesion were analyzed according to the type of bony Bankart lesion. Finally, the clinical outcomes were evaluated (active range of motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score and Rowe's score). RESULTS: Among the 13 patients who had small bony Bankart lesions, the prevalence rate of early and late type of capsulolabral lesions was 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Among the 69 patients without bony Bankart lesion, the prevalence rates of early and late type of capsulolabral lesions were 74% and 26%, respectively. Significantly worse clinical outcome was observed for the group of patients with both small bony Bankart lesions and late type of capsulolabral lesion. CONCLUSIONS: More severe type of small bony Bankart lesion appears to be associated with late type of capsulolabral lesion. The significantly worse clinical outcome for patients with both small bony Bankart lesion and late type of capsulolabral lesion indicates that small bony Bankart lesions cannot always be neglected.

A posterior shoulder dislocation with a fracture is rare. Most fractures are impression fractures of the humeral head or lesser tuberosity fractures. However, there are no reports of a complete rupture of the rotator cuff with a combined posterior glenohumeral dislocation. We report a unique case of a posterior shoulder dislocation with an avulsion fracture of the greater tuberosity and a complete rupture of infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis tendons, which were treated surgically.

Dislocation of the shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture is very rare, but serious injury that requires emergent care. There have been approximately 20 cases reported in the English literature, but it has never been reported in Korea. We report a case of dislocation of right shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture which was successfully treated by closed reduction of the shoulder under general anesthesia and internal fixation with antegrade interlocking intramedullary nailing for the humeral shaft fracture.

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder may be missed or neglected at initial presentation especially in developing countries. We present a case of 40-year-old Indian man who had 3-month missed posterior dislocation of the right shoulder along with malunited fracture of the anatomical neck of the humerus. Open reduction and stabilization with modified McLaughlin procedure was performed. Rotational osteotomy of proximal humerus had to be performed as supplementary procedure to keep the humeral head stable in glenoid cavity during functional range of movements. The patient had excellent result of the shoulder at 3 years follow-up.
